What to know first

A fraction shows equal parts of a whole. The bottom number tells you how many equal parts the whole was cut into, and the top number tells you how many of those parts you have. The bigger the bottom number, the smaller each piece — which surprises most children at first.

Answers and explanations

Show the answer key
  1. How many equal parts the whole is cut intoThe bottom number, the denominator, is how many equal parts the whole was divided into.
  2. 1/2Cutting a roti into 2 gives bigger pieces than cutting it into 4, so 1/2 is bigger.
  3. 9Half means splitting into two equal parts: 18 ÷ 2 = 9.
  4. 4/4When the top and bottom numbers are the same, you have the whole thing.
  5. 2/8You ate 2 of the 8 equal parts, which is 2/8 — the same as 1/4.
  6. 4One third means splitting into 3 equal parts: 12 ÷ 3 = 4.
